Stressed Out

So much pressure
Broke in debt
They telling me no hope is left
I'm feelin like the rope is set
I'm chokin on these figures
Start to sweat
I, gave all I had can't pay that back
My Name's in the trash don't play that track
This pain's all I have let it I fade to black
I paint in on my fences
Build my walls up so defensive
Got my armor on with each and every 'sentence'
You go be the 'judge' with a gavel
In these clubs - I get hassle
Do what I lovе, it's a battle
But they could never see the things 'I've seen'
I put my 'ghosts' up in these bars
Sometimes I wish that I could scream
These cuts may heal they still leave scars
These words are how I bleed
I listen back to all these tracks and swear that isn't me
It ain't, it can't be
'Broken legs', can't 'stand me'
In my head, I'm rambling
Still I feel like rambo
With this lead that is my ammo
As I pencil out this cammo
Hidden meanings I depict in every line
And I just hope you read the hieroglyphics all in time
Barely in mine
Alien minds

Lately
I've been feelin great
Lately
I've been feelin great
Lately
I've been feelin great
I know that that's a lie
Lately I've been feelin weight
This stress all on my shoulders
How much more of can I take?
This pain rolls like a boulder tryna shoulder my mistakes
So turn that music down
Got me stressed out
So turn that music down
Got me stressed out

When Nic passed away he said don't you ever quit (yea)
But I've been feelin 'half' since my mom and pop 'split'
Don't know if I'm just empty
So I empty out this fifth
It's been tempting to just end things
But who's gon' tell my kids?
I know that I got enemies
I empty out this clip
Got that devil in my eardrum
Tryna tempt me to get rich (whoah)
Been down that road but I never turn back
I would never sell my soul for the stacks
I would rather burn my cash on the tracks
Fill my casket full of raps on racks
Pages full of passion
Clear the lobby
I make rap like its a heartbeat
You react like it's a hobby
This my life
There's no rewinding
It's all mine
There's no cosigning
I don't spit for 'algorithms'
No cheat codes
For how I'm feelin
This is all I'm given
Still believe in God
But if you 'cross me' I'm a 'sinner'
See every mark and every loss
Has marked me as a winner
So when I'm dead and gone
Lay these verses as my scriptures
So when I'm dead and gone
I hope these verses you'll remember (whoah)

Lately
I've been feelin great
Lately
I've been feelin great
Lately
I've been feelin great
I know that that's a lie
Lately I've been feelin weight
This stress all on my shoulders
How much more of can I take?
This pain rolls like a boulder tryna shoulder my mistakes
So turn that music down
Got me stressed out
So turn that music down
Got me stressed out

Yea
Is this how I lay
I'm fading far away
Fading far away
So take my past just let me go
I've been down this road
I've been down this road before
Yea I've been stuck in holes

But when I hit that stop sign at the-end
I'ma drive through it!
Tear apart this paper
Split this fear with all my anger
Look in the mirror, there's a stranger
What do I fear, am I in danger
I don't know, no no no
I'm afraid of letting go
Yet I'm afraid of being whole
Or is it holes man I don't know
Cuz that's just more that can be ripped apart
When-the-world turns cold
I confess that I am froze
Count my blessings with these woes
I've been stressed out from my foes
God has tested me for sure
But who I am and what I was
Has both been left outside door (whoah)
Step up in the booth, full clip lit hit it up
I could give my liver
And the critics wouldn't give it up
Cut my heart out
Still they'd say I didn't 'give enough'
Go fill up my cup, only so much you can take
Before you burst a vein
Wish I could turn the volume down inside my brain
And mute the pain
Before I fade away
